Abstract:
In this work, the authors revisit the measurements of Trout and Kelley, and Simpkin and Dixon, by means of Monte Carlo simulations. Starting with a simple cylindrical homogeneous phantom, the authors introduce a more realistic phantom and the effect of the bucky in the simulations. The results indicate that optimised shielding methodologies should not neglect the attenuation and scattering by the patient plus bucky.

Sampling Plans
Random sampling is a method where each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample. It involves selecting individuals randomly, often using random number generators or lottery-type methods. For example, when analyzing the properties of a...

Cluster Sampling Method
To choose a cluster sample, divide the population into clusters (groups) and then randomly select some of the clusters. All the members from these clusters are in the cluster sample. For example, if you randomly sample four departments from your...
